It's Time To Hold Murdoch Accountable For Race Baiting On Fox News
As we previously reported, Rupert Murdoch is trying to backpedal from his statement that Glenn Beck was "right" to call President Obama a racist.

Bob Beckel, however, was simply fed up and threw his outrage at Republicans right back at O'Reilly.

O'Reilly Compares McCain's Negative Campaigning To Obama Attending DailyKos Convention
O'Reilly's TPM tonight, 10/13, absolved John McCain completely for his negative campaigning that has incited ugly, dangerous, racist behavior at McCain and Palin's rallies. BOR dismissed it like it was no big deal and proceeded to attack Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) for his comment that McCain and Palin are "sewing the seeds of hatred and division" and chided Lewis for not condemning Obama for going to the DailyKos convention. At this point the TPM turned into an attack on Obama and McCain was in the clear.
